This is round 3 of the IHSA State Tournament.  Our school ended up playing against the number 4 seed, and the girl I played was the one who actually got 1st place last year.  I didn't find out until after the match.  I was white.

I felt really good after this round.  Beating last year's number 1 and I'm currently 3 for 3.

Yeah, 14. c3 would have been better.

She must have not seen 30. f5 because that would be a much better move.

Great play that round. Really insightful moves in the endgame.

Thanks Dan.

In general, good play from both sides especially in the endgame until she blundered with Ke6?? which loses an otherwise dead drawn endgame. I also played that girl in one of my rounds but she played far more poorly in that round than she did against you and dropped an exchange and a minor.

Well I guess everyone has good and bad days.
